I began my musical journey at age 7 with piano, followed by ukulele at 9 and clarinet at 11. Throughout middle and high school, I consistently made county and district honor bands from 7th to 12th grade. I attended NC Governor's School West for instrumental music in 2017 and received a full scholarship to Cannon Music Camp at Appalachian State in 2016. In 2018, I was honored with the John Philips Sousa award for superior musicianship and awarded a $10,000 scholarship to study music at UNC-Charlotte. I pursued Music Education on clarinet at Appalachian State University for two years, where I also played mellophone with the Marching Mountaineers. Although I eventually graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Cybersecurity, my passion for music has always been a driving force in my life. My diverse experience across multiple instruments and ensembles enhances my teaching, allowing me to provide a deep understanding of music theory to my students. What sets me apart as a tutor is my extensive musical background and dedication to teaching. My lessons are enriched with advanced music theory, making learning both educational and inspiring. I focus on creating a patient and humorous environment, aiming to foster a genuine love of music in my students. My lessons cater to students from 5 years old to adults, whether they are beginners exploring a new instrument or advanced musicians refining their skills. I also specialize in helping students manage performance anxiety and develop effective practice routines with clear goal-setting. Whether you're interested in ukulele, clarinet, or deepening your knowledge of music theory and ear training, my lessons provide a supportive and personalized environment for musical growth.
